Present cable is FW 400 with a "pointy" end....looks like 6 connector pins inside.... If correct, I need a 6 pin FW400 to FW800 cable.....

FW400 4 pin - small one, no power FW400 6 pin - normal one, elongated FW800 9 pin - squarer fitting john -----Original Message----- I have a PC and a Nikon Coolscan 4000 scanner. Worked fine on my old Dell, but, for my new computer, I need to order a PCI Express Firewire card. They make Firewire 400 and 800 cards. The Coolscan is a Firewire 400 machine. Can I plug a Firewire 400 peripheral into a Firewire 800 connector and card? _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
